Why won't it let me choose import in the file menu?

When I press "file" on the toolbar, the "import" is not highlighted and will not allow me to select this as an option. I want to import my favorites from internet explorer, but without the option of "import" firefox will not allow me to do so. How can I enable this feature?

You're not using the permanent Private Browsing mode are you?

  • Cannot choose "Import" on the file menu - not highlighted

    trying to import bookmarks from IE - on the file menu of Firefox the "Import" choice is not highlighted and cannot be selected - why? This may be a basic error on my part somewhere .

    Try importing them via the bookmarks organizer.
    # In the menus select "Bookmarks", and then "Organize Bookmarks..." to open the bookmarks organizer (also known as the Library)
    # In the Library select "Import and Backup" and then "Import HTML"
    Does this give you the option to import from Internet Explorer?
    If it does not, export the favorites in IE to an HTML file, and then import the HTML file into Firefox. This process is described in the [[Importing Internet Explorer Favorites from another computer]] article.

  • To import bookmarks from Safari, Help says to select Import from the File menu, but there is no Import option there. What then is the first step to import Safari bookmarks?.

    I was reading from the Help menu which does provide the warning that the material may be outdated since it is not supported.

    The Import option has been moved from the File menu to the Library window; that article needs to be revised.
    *''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks'' to open the Library window
    *In the Library window, ''Import and Backup > Import Data from Another Browser''

  • Cannot import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac because "import" under the file menu is grayed out.

    To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    * Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Firefox won't spawn a new window, either from the File menu or by right-clicking a link

    I can't get Firefox to open a new window under any circumstances. Not from the file menu, and not by right-clicking on a link. This has been going on for at least a week, and I don't know what changed before it started happening.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Disable or Uninstall ZoneAlarm Toolbar. They are still having problems with it in current Firefox.

  • Why won't iTunes let me import this album from my music folder?

    For some reason, iTunes won't let me import Radiohead In Rainbows from my music folder. The songs are mp3 files. I've imported thousands of songs and haven't had a problem. I've tried dragging it in and importing from the file menu.
    The one thing I notice is that MP3 is capitalized in the file names, but I don't know if that has anything to do with. The music plays fine in Windows Media Player, but I want to put it in itunes so I can put it on my iPod.

    I appreciate the reply. How do you check permissions (what is permissions)? This is very strange since it worked flawlessly in my itunes libraray before recently as well as my ipod and all of a sudden it wouldn't play in my library so I deleted the tracks from the library and tried to re-add them but it doesn't load them now and doesn't give me any kind of error message.
    These are official MP3 tracks that I downloaded from the official Radiohead website and they play fine on my Ipod, Windows Media Player, and Quicktime. Just not Itunes itself.

  • Why won't it let me hit anything?

    I was trying to put a title slide into my movie. While I was editing it, and typing something else on the Scroll title, I hit the font button and now it won't let me hit anything else. Everytime I click it gives me a rejecting noise. Why is this?

    It could be that the disk you're saving your captures on are not fast enough or maybe is full. If you have an external disk that you can connect via firewire you can try to define this disk as the one to save your captures on. As I recall you do so by choosing 'Save all' in the files menu and then point to the ext. disk.

  • HT4743 When I try to buy a tv episode, it comes up with a message "problems communicating with itunes store, try later"  click ok and then another messge comes up to verify payment info online. Everything is correct.  Why won't it let me buy??

    When I try to buy a tv episode on apple tv, it gives me a message of "problems connecting with store, try again later".  I hit ok, and then another message comes up to go online and verify payment information.  I have done that, all info is correct.  Why won't it let me purchase?  This has been going on for days.

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

    Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

    David, the camera shoots .mov files. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed but still nothing.
    I teach high school, but I'm reluctant to download FCPX for my students at the moment. I may try it but I really want to stick with what we're using currently, at least for now.
    iMovie started to import files, but very slowly. I guess I'm frustrated that the files shot on the Canons I also use transfer just fine, but the Aiptek camera isn't cooperating.
    Would you suggest using MPEG Streamclip?
    Thanks again in advance.
